Indian Saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus Schneider, 1801) and their conservation perspective

Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis Studia Naturae, 2023
The Saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus Schneider, 1801), population in India has been relatively stable. They are listed as a Schedule I species in the Wildlife Protection Act of India, which provides them with legal protection. However, several natural and anthropogenic factors are cumulatively putting significant challenges towards the ...

How many fathers? Study design implications when inferring multiple paternity in crocodilians

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Up to 10 males were reported to sire clutches of crocodilian eggs but review of the underlying study designs raised questions of potential upward bias of inferred sire numbers.

Applying the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology to classify, describe, and map ecosystems based on regional data and Indigenous knowledge

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Four streams of infromation, data, and knowledges are brought together into an ecosystem typology for the Tiwi Islands. The Typology contains written descriptions and conceptual models for each ecosystem, cross‐reference to other classification schemes, and a map of ecosystem distributions. Abstract Effective ecosystem conservation for biodiversity and

Intra- and interspecific agonistic behaviour in hatchling Australian freshwater crocodiles (Crocodylus johnstoni) and saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) [PDF]

Australian Journal of Zoology, 2013
We examined agonistic behaviour in hatchling Australian freshwater crocodiles (Crocodylus johnstoni) at 2 weeks, 13 weeks, and 50 weeks after hatching, and between C. johnstoni and saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) at 40–50 weeks of age. Among C.

Population genetics implications for the conservation of the Philippine Crocodile Crocodylus mindorensis Schmidt, 1935 (Crocodylia: Crocodylidae)

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2014
Limited information is available on the Philippine Crocodile, Crocodylus mindorensis, concerning levels of genetic diversity either relative to other crocodilian species or among populations of the species itself.

Descent with modification: critical use of historical evidence for conservation [PDF]

, 2018
The clear evidence of the accumulating impacts of anthropogenic actions on the Earth system is driving researchers to look to historical data as a resource for understanding the present and predicting the future.

Large, prolonged flooding and pool persistence promote floodplain fish diversity in a threatened river

Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 7, October 2025.
Abstract While it is widely recognized that reduced river‐floodplain connectivity has contributed to the decline of biodiversity in floodplain rivers, surprisingly few studies have quantified the relationship between connectivity, pool persistence, and fish assemblage structure to the level required to generate measurable targets for management.

Metabolic Rate, Ql0 and Respiratory Quotient (RQ) in Crocodylus Porosus, and Some Generalizations About Low RQ In Reptiles [PDF]

, 1978
In juvenile Crocodylus porosus, the dependence of oxygen consumption on temperature can be described by the relationship log10QO2 = 0.7221 + 0.0428T C. The Q10 was found to be 2.68 over the temperature range 20-33 C.

Exploring gaps, biases, and research priorities in the evidence for reptile conservation actions

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract With over 21% of reptile species threatened with extinction, there is an urgent need to ensure conservation actions to protect and restore populations are informed by relevant, reliable evidence. We examined the geographic and taxonomic distribution of 707 studies that tested the effects of actions to conserve reptiles synthesized in ...
